#Tarot Tuesdays 3-6-18, The Dakinis Ask "What Is Your Wealth?"

Who are the Dakinis? They are the "Sky Dancing Shaktis" energies, the Divine Feminine Presences", the intelligence in the celestial realm which infuses the elements of earth to become manifested form. Although most popular in Tibetan Buddhism, the Dakinis have a very long history for many different cultures—although named something else including angels, the Raet, Bast and Sekhmet, and celestial mind forms, etc. They are the building blocks of the creation process and assist spiritual growth through non-physical means and have their own systems of initiation. They often coalesce to form a "Goddess Form" to communicate or otherwise direct energy in the earthly realms. In these days the Dakinis are very active.
I'm working with three interpretations of the Lakshmi Shakti starting with Penny Slinger's 64 Dakini Oracle. She's here to remind us that real wealth is an attitude of generosity, inspiration, sustaining what is worth saving, and being open to receive. She is wealth in all forms.
In the Yogini of Hirapur Oracle created by Lusia Spagna Lakshmi takes on the manifested form of Brahmani who imparts her Shakti through the mind. She governs the ability of a species to use whatever mind (container of consciousness ) to hold and transmit light codes aka “information” . In her picture posted above she also gives insight as to how to work with passion. Notice she is residing in a field of peace and tranquility yet from her hands she is emitting passion and intelligence and is standing on a book—her vehicle—which indicates wisdom already gained and/or the ability to tap into earth's records. She has three faces indicating a multiverse perspective.
Be aware of how your actions impact your environment/reality field in many ways. As it has been explained to me: the mind is the container for consciousness to move through as thoughts, ideas, programs, matrices. She helps us to govern our lives through the concepts of right thinking or thinking that brings the kind of results we are looking for. Tranquility comes from slowing the mind—she indicates meditation is called for to be able to stay in the present because this is the point to create from. If you have studied or worked with anything having to do with how to bring about conscious co-creation then this will make sense to you and she is active in your life.

I've created my own Dakini Oracle deck called "The Dakini Medicine Oracle" which integrates the 'sky dancer' and yogini energies for a more alchemy oriented view. In the Dakini Healing Oracle© Lakshmi is "Rising Passions Dakini" the narrative reads: "A place of potential alkhemy is present when I show up. Desire is a passage way to further revelation. All the more joyous when I lift the veil in the heart and mind of the intended beloved. Who doesn't want to be close to me? I ignite the core of your desire nature and raise the fires of potentiality."
In essence what you are passionate about in the field of wealth creation comes about more quickly this week. Keep in mind that Lakshmi grants wealth most easily to those who share their wealth—in whatever form is available including smiles, laughter a kind word and compassion…

This is interesting I like how you explained the philosophy/science behind the Dakini's. Thanks for the insight.
Yesss!!! Please say this again to let us all know what real wealth is! If you are truly working with passion towards your own passion then when you accumulate wealth you are more than generous because you want others to bask in the experience with you. Far too often we are jaded and become stingy. We all need to self reflect on what our worth is, because that ultimately determines our wealth.
yes, and real wealth is more than disposable income (although this is important to be able to enjoy life--those who do not want this may be better off living in a monestary or ashram, which works for many people.) Lakshmi has taught me a lot about real wealth, sharing, self-preservation and aligning with the Higher Forces of nature and I am grateful. I'm glad you enjoyed the post...
This is one of the most beautiful pics of Lakshimi I've ever seen
Yes, @tiffanysatchel Penny Slinger's work with the Dakinis is amazing. I was lucky to have access to this deck which is not available on the market...
yes, I love working with them. the have been whispering to me since the 80s although I didn't know who they were at the time. They don't play around but are very loving at the core, from my experience. I'm glad you enjoyed the blog and thank you...
